So this last weekend before heading out to hunt I changed the oil and oil filter on my 2014 Honda rancher. I noticed the coolant was a tad low. I have some Pro Honda coolant ordered, but not supposed to be here for about a week.I added a very small amount of some Oreilly’s conventional green that I had in the garage after reading it protected all metals including aluminum from rust and corrosion, however I didnt realize that it contained silicates. So I have a couple questions.
1) how bad is it to have an ounce or two mixed in with the Honda stuff? Should I replace ASAP?
2) Do I need to flush the coolant line? Manual doesnt say anything about flushing when changing, but thats probably assuming you have the correct coolant in there in the first place.
I am guessing it is not a big deal with the very low concentration, but I want to hear from someone who knows more than I do.
Thanks,
Rob
